hey @bhavana:
leaves roll up during summer conditions just to reduce the rate
of transpiration(loss of water from aerial parts of plants in form
of water vapour)
it's simple logic application,if leaves roll up,less surface
area of leaves will be exposed to sunlight and hence water lost
will be in less amount
hope it helps!
